Hi Colette,

With all of the different variations of the dance, I shall just post a few different Youtube videos of individuals dancing the Blackbird. Hope this helps. They are not perfectly performed, but I think they will help you somewhat with what you are looking for. Maybe you'll find the one you want. :) Or close. :) Anyway, if the version of the Blackbird that you learned was not "revised", but traditional, then a few of the below links should be what you are searching for (though some performances are 'modified variations' :)...Otherwise, like I said...good luck! :)

God bless. Hope this helps.

This is something you might find interesting:
The Blackbird is actually "code" for Bonnie Prince Charles who tried to overthrow the English with a group of Scotsmen.
